From Ashes: Hope for James and Marketa

My name is James Hester. On the evening of November 27th, my wife Marketa and I lost the home we were leasing in a devastating house fire after a small propane tank exploded on a gas grill we were preparing for use. By the grace of God, no one was seriously injured; however, we lost most of our possessions. This happened a day after the restaurant, of which I am co-owner, was destroyed by fire as well. Those of you who know me and my wife know us to be kind, generous, loving people who unselfishly support the community. This entire situation has been stressful; however, we are remaining faithful that with the help of the community, we can restore and rebuild all that was lost.

We are currently looking at finding a new place to live and replacing a lifetime of possessions. Any help or assistance at this time would be greatly appreciated.
